I had a look for you but this is all I found.

"Applicants offering two subjects at Advanced Higher level with AA grades (including Chemistry), in addition to the Scottish Highers described above, can be considered for the five year scheme (A100").

In terms of the points system your gonna have to ring them up I'm afraid :smile:

I have 25, and I'm really starting to worry now!

Cardiff was supposed to me my 'safe' uni as well!

I know man I also have 25.
If it's 26 then I'm gonna feel like Cardiff conned me lol into applying as they always say that we encourage all applicants with 23+ to apply with the cutoff being around 24-25.
There's nothing much you can do now, other than just have faith in that they lower it this year :smile:

Cardiff is really not much of a soft choice anymore these days sadly :frown:

. Not just because the cut-off was really high last year, but because the odds are still not that great after interview as opposed to schools such as Bham and UCL which give offers to most of the candidates that they interview. Where else have you applied?

I'm finding it hard to believe that circa one third of last years' applicants had 8a*s or more at GCSE

my other unis are:
St George's
Liverpool
Nottingham

I reckon your chances will be better at Nottingham if you get an interview. Cardiff is good for securing an interview if you've got great GCSEs (that's why some use it as a softer choice) but you still have to be able to give a great interview to get in. I found that out the hard way last year :frown:

. Try not to worry about it now though, just do some good interviews wherever you get them and hopefully you'll have a place at the end of it :smile:

Anyone got any idea when we can start expecting them to hand out interview? Also what's their interview structure like?

No idea about the interview structure although it is a panel interview that's all I know:/

Out of curiosity, if I have two maths GCSEs, will they use both of them or only one?
I got over 8A*s, but unfotunately got two A's for maths and A*A*A in sciences, so that drops my score a bit.

Are u describing only GCSE grades there ?
sorry it's a bit unclear, whether your talking about only GCSEs or if your A*A*A is in A level. And whether your 2A's are in GCSE ?

Could you be more clear with your stats and I could tell you your score :smile:

Unfortunately not, (well in your case it's fortunate :smile:

) I'm in the same situation and they only consider one maths. As long as you have an A* in English language, I think you have a score of 25.
